(Yet Another) Christmas Tree
We bought a new Christmas tree this year. This brings us now to a total of 4, 5 if you count the 2 foot silver thing my wife put in our daughter’s bedroom.
To be fair, our fiber-optic 7 footer has seen better days. It was way cool when we first got it, a decade ago, but now… not so much. When you first turn it on and for the next 5 minutes or so, it sounds very much like a couple of old men passing kidney stones, moaning and nearly screaming as the motor for the light wheel warms up. NOT really Christmas-y, that one.
The replacements we purchased for it (both of them) are less than 5 feet tall. I don’t recall how it was that we came in to possession of TWO 4.5’ trees, but we did. Both are nice trees, pre-lit and “life-like” but not filling the gaping Christmas tree size hole (which is evidently around 7 feet). And, apparently, Ashlee is tired of propping one of them on a booster to give it the appearance of being a normal tree.
So then, here we are, now in possession of this lovely seven-foot-pre-lit-fake-pine-something-or-other tree. Long may it reign!
(Anyone want a 4 foot tree or two, or maybe a larger one that you could use for your haunted forest?)
